When I first saw this at my local Salvation Army months ago, I thought it was a dress bought it and put in the pile of clothes I planned on listing it in my Etsy store. But when I gave it a more thorough inspection last week, I noticed that it was actually a romper (it had no defined waistline like what most rompers and jumpsuits have). I also noticed the fabric was starting to pull from the seams, so there was no way that I was going to list it. I was thinking of other ways to use the fabric when out of curiosity I decided to try it on and it actually fits. I always liked the idea of rompers/jumpsuits but I whenever I tried one on, it looked ridiculous on me because the waistline would hit me in the wrong spot.  Go up a size and it looks really sloppy.  I was happy that it did fit. But then I had to figure out how to make me not look like a giant printed blob. So I put a belt on it (see what I did there? XP). Added a cardigan and it's safe to say I rocked my first romper without looking like I need to stand in the corner for a time out. 

In other news, I signed up to be a volunteer at this years WonderCon. 

Run by the same group (Comic-Con International) that puts together Comic-Con, it's usually held in San Francisco at the Moscone Center. But this year the center is being renovated. so they decided to move it to Anaheim. I never volunteered at the convention before, so this is going to be a fun experience and the best part is that after I'm done volunteering, I get to roam the convention halls for free. I'm hoping I can do the same with Comic-Con im July, but that volunteer sign-up list fills up rather quickly. If you're interested in volunteering, you can sign up here.
